Hi @Juliaofmartinez ,

You do not underexpose at any time. You expose for highlights. You expose for low lights. Therefore you need to understand the settings of your camera and the tools to use to achieve these goals. Back-lighting (your shot) requires fill light(s) to bring out details in the forefront. There is where your flash comes in. 

 

I set out one morning to get several stages of sunrise. I did not underexpose at any time. It required changing the settings for normal exposure for each shot. Here are examples of my final 2 shots. The bright white at the left corner of the first is the sun. The indent on the tip of the mountain of the second is the sun.

This other shot was done in the middle of the day against bright sunlit sky background (back-lighting). I'm short, and this branch was way up and this was the angle I wanted. Please note, the forefront is well lit. That is because I used flash.

Hi @Juliaofmartinez ,

I think this is a nice framing. However, it is underexposed, and needed the use of fill light. There are too much black spots that details are lost. Your image should look close to, or as though you are looking at it in real life.
